609 City Park Avenue Subdivision
1. This project proposes to divide Lot 1, 609 City Park Avenue, into two lots. One
home exists on the Site, and it is anticipated that a second home will be
constructed on the new (second) lot. The lot lies in an existing neighborhood,
zoned Low -Density Residential (RL). This proposed subdivision promotes City
Plan Principles and Policies regarding Land Use, Transportation, Community
Appearance and Design, and Housing. Subdivisions for single-family residential
units are permitted in the RL District, subject to Administrative (Type 1) review
and public hearing approval. As a part of the subdivision, a sidewalk will be
provided along the southern boundary (Crestmore Place), where currently none
exists. This will promote safer and more efficient movement for pedestrians
throughout the neighborhood. The addition of a second home promotes
residential infill development, in that the open space on the site is most likely
perceived to be a vacant lot. Construction of the second home supports the
City's policy of maintaining an adequate supply and variety of housing, while
protecting the existing residential neighborhood's character.
2. This project proposes no open space, wetlands, natural habitats and features,
circulation, transition areas, or associated buffering on site or in the general
vicinity of the project. Landscaping will be provided in the form of additional
street trees.
3. There are no public or private open space areas to maintain.
4. This project does not include business, commercial, or industrial uses.
5. Applicant has made no assumptions or choices in addition to those stated herein.
6. Applicant agrees to comply with applicable criteria and regulations, submitting
appropriate documents as requested by the Planning Department. One

105 feet wide — minus the dedicated Right -of -Way of 6.5 feet; the proposed
widths are 49.8 and 48.7 feet.
7. There are no conflicts between land uses or disturbances to wetlands, natural
habitats and features and/or wildlife proposed.
8. A neighborhood meeting was not required.
